It turns out that I am not knit worthy....

I was being lazy on Saturday and decided to throw my Vernal Equinox Shawl into the washer with my other white clothes. I admit, I didn't think about it. As a result the shawl has a new residence... the Lane County dump. *sighs* The darn thing felted on one side and not on the other and it developed a fantastically large hole. It was not salvageable. I am trying not to think about all the hours of work that went into it or the fact that it is in the garbage can. That's one lesson sadly learned.
